Watched the replay earlier.

This guy is legit.
He is knowledgable, unbiased and loves SEC football.
Fat verne is just along for the ride.


FWIW, cbs' intro and coverage of this rivalry was also first rate I thought.

Danielson is the best in the biz. He has an immense knowledge of the game and really does a great job of breaking things down in an easy to understand way, IMO. Verne sucks, but Gary is great.

I hate gary. he says the most inane things.

Verne is absolutely horrific. He is always calling the wrong name, position or spot.

I keep on waiting for him to go perriloux with the tackle when shepard is doing something.

I like Danielson. But I wouldn't want to see a movie with him.

I think Danielson is the best color man calling college football. Verne is alright, just getting old and past his prime. I would love to see Ron Franklin doing the premier SEC games along with Gary on CBS.

I said this on here before. especially in 2008 when he was calling JL's picks before they happened. That is why i say to this day that He was a better coach than GC. He knows qb's and tendencies of defensive coord. Wasn't he a qb in college?

I mean if you got to watch LSU practice like danielson im sure you could've called the 2 point conversion play and have a lot of insight into what is going on. College teams only have so much time to practice if you see what they do there your going to know what they will do in the game. It aint rocket science.

I have never gotten over the call he made when Ali Highsmith hit Tim Tebow inbounds and even after seeing the replay danielson says "your not gonna get away with that"

I have to agree that Danielson is top tier. He breaks things down faster than anyone out there and is usually dead on. Verne is not that bright and is just a play by play guy but Danielson knows the game.

Agree (grudgingly). When you watch the replay and hear Danielson setting it up, it's almost like he knows what's coming. He's sharp but he's also got two of three of the best spotters in the business working with him.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I think that the whole CBS coverage is second rate at best, including an over-the-hill play by play announcer and a color commentator that gets it wrong too often.

Case in point was their atrocious commentary on LSU's delay of game penalty on Saturday. They were so ready to report that the fans were booing Miles that they forgot to pay attention to the game.

Another thing about CBS that bothers me: if you look closely, their instant replay is not in HD, which shows they're cheapos too.
